I am a visual artist working in collage, assemblage sculpture and altered books. My practice explores identity, memory and the history of the African diaspora. Vintage and contemporary images collide to convey how the past informs the present.


"I aten't dead yet." -- Granny Weatherwax (Terry Pratchett)

It isn't much, but slapping gesso onto this postcard is the first time since Artfest that I've held anything resembling a paintbrush or a canvas.

Tally and I are going to do a round robin of sorts, just the two of us, using postcards. You know, this is the second time she's helped me get out of an art funk or slow period. I think we're mishpucheh by now, for many reasons. So here's a shout-out to her.

Oh, and I aten't dead yet... I have at least four more months before I have to make art with one hand while I nurse with the other and yell at The Boy to get me another martini. Kidding! I'll still be blogging and arting for awhile. So hang in there with me.

Somewhere, beyond the sea...

I made her wait for two weeks past her due date. During a muggy New Jersey summer.
